So I Wrote You a Poem: Poems of Empathy on Life, Loss and Faith
St Marcina Press
2021
Abstract
In January 2021, Instagram followers were invited to message author David Tensen with a life story they wanted made into a poem. More than 60 people wrote in with stories spanning divorce, loss, trauma, parenting, ableism, same-sex attraction, suicide, abortion, infertility, PTSD, parenting, religious shame and more. Drawing from deep empathy, and with a desire to give dignity and voice to those often shamed and ostracised, David wrote a collection of poems every day for twenty-one days. This special collection of 25 poems is a tribute to the common loss and hope we all share. This is David's second poetry collection. His best-selling debut 2020 collection, "The Wrestle", is also available worldwide.
